Human Resource Management, BBA

Anderson School of Management

Program Description:

People are the most critical resource of a business. Effective utilization of employee capability is the focus of Human Resource Management. Evaluating the needs of an organization, finding people to fill those needs, and providing an optimum environment conducive to high levels of motivation and performance are all aspects of the HRM business function. Being current with the latest research, policies and thinking are integral to this concentration. Special attention is given to issues of diversity management and effective team development skills. Classes in this concentration are available to HRM majors and to other undergraduate and graduate students for their elective course work.

Admission Requirements:

Minimum requirements for transfer or admission to the Bachelor of Business Administration Program are:

Completion of or current enrollment in the pre-admission course work.

A minimum grade of “C” and an overall cumulative grade point average requirement of 2.5 on all required pre-admission course work. (Students should be aware that, due to space limitations, satisfying the minimum grade point average does not guarantee admission.)

An overall combined grade point average of 2.5 on all University of New Mexico and transfer course work.

Submission of a formal application for admission to the Anderson School Advisement Center during the semester when the pre-admission course work is to be completed. The application is online at the ASM Web site.

Application procedures must be completed by:

• March 1 for Summer admission

• May 1 for Fall admission

• October 1 for Spring admission

Students have two options regarding the CS 150L preadmission course work requirement: 1) take the class, or 2) pass the CS 149 waiver test. Applications are placed on hold and are not processed until the student satisfies this requirement. Information about the waiver exam is available at the Computer Science department Web site.

NOTE: Students who do not submit their applications by the deadline date or who do complete their admission requirements are required to reapply for the following semester.

Humanities: 3 credit hours chosen from Anderson’s core curriculum course list. Note that the University of New Mexico core curriculum requires 6 credit hours of Humanities. Anderson requires students to complete the additional 3 credit hours as part of their upper-division requirements.

One of the following statistics courses: STAT 145 or 245 or 345, or MGMT 290.

Students must complete CS 150L or must pass the CS 150L waiver exam, CS 149, administered by the Department of Computer Science. CS 150L and equivalent courses must have been completed within five years of the semester in which the student is seeking admission to the B.B.A. Program. If more than five 5 years have elapsed, the student must complete the CS 149 waiver exam or repeat the course (no credit for repeating the course).
